Subject: Prophet of Truth.

Looking back on the novels and the games released so far, i feel that The Prophet of Truth brought on his own death while most likely knowing it would happen.

If i remember from the Halo novel Contact Harvest, while the Prophet is still known as the Minister of Foritude. He mentions to himself that while the grunt rebellion could destabilize the Covenant, a rebellion from the Elites could shatter it.However much later on during the events of Halo 2 he replaces the Elites with the Brutes as the protectors of the Prophets, which even he hasd to know would cause some resentment and possible rebellion among them, yet he did it anyway and in my opinion killed himself in that momentAfter He did this the Humans started to really fight back as in part the Covenant lost its main fighters where beforehand humanity's destruction was assured..Knowing that the elites are based from pride and honour, they rebelled and the Prophet shoould have heeded his own words from Harvest.It might have saved his life.

I changed usernames to match my gamertag. My original account, wambo114, was created when I got xbox live. I'm a 2007 kid really!

I'm sorry, but I think this might be better received in the Bungie Universe forum. I, for one, know next to nothing about the story outside of the games.

It didn't matter at that point. Ascension was already close at hand. He replaced the Elite that not only failed in their task multiple times, but questioned things too much. He was going to ascend in such a short time it didn't matter what the Elites did. It was arrogance at that point.
